The Village

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"In first time village was in the other place - on farm, which now name Staryna. Behind it laid the impassable bogs. Inhabitants have begun to move for it. So there were names: Zabolot' ("za bolotom" means "for bog") - Yapolot'. According to legends, in XVII century near village were two battles against Turks."
